CLEANS UP FARMERS* HOMES Fltkt Red Paint u Bkt itngton.--Through the mtnlstraof the home demonstration ts of the Department of Agriculture, farm women have put the ban on unsightly homes. The lavish U9e of red paint, associated in the past with farms, is frowned upon by her field agents, says Miss Grace Frysinger, head of the home demonstration work in the Central states. Federal employees are trying to point out to the farmers' wives that Wen the slightly lower price of red paint cannot make up for the landscape- blotting qualities it has when daubed Informally upon all buildings on the property. ~ Classes are being conducted In all the states, with ttie co-operation of county agents, state universities, and their departments of agriculture, in methods of beautifying the farm hopne, both Internally and externally* "This present campaign, we hope," Miss Frysinger says, "will result in a unity of color In the bai! dings, and also the clearing up of the front yards. "Women are being shown demonstration homes, where the yard is free from the plowshare; the clothesline and the garbage pall. The model homes have neat, clean front yards, shrubbery covering unsightly outbuildings, and plenty of trees for shade. The buildings are all painted one color or at least in colors that have some relation to one another. The fences are mended and upstanding, and chickens and llVe stock are kept behind pens or wire fences, and are not allowed to roam generally through all parts of the yard and house." Crippled Boy Gains Eagle Scout Honors Los Angeles, Calif.--Despite the fact that be has one artificial leg and walks with a crutch and that both his hands are crippled, with middle finger missing, Lester Plunket of Los Angeles has won the Eagle badge of the Boy Scouts of America. - The record of his accomplishments is one of the most unusual and heroic In the history of the boy scout movement. The scouts have provided achievement badges for handicapped boys who cannot meet the exacting requirements of the first-class scout. Young Plunkett, however, undertook to pass the tests set for robust boys. A firstclass scout must earn 21 merit badges ft to become an Eagle scout, which means he. must also have a working knowledge of 21 different vocational or scientific subjects. Eleven of the merit badges which he earns are required, while the other ten may be chosen from a list of 88 subjects for which standards have been prepared by experts. Several of the requirements seemed impossible for him to meet, but he took them over and over again until he passed with a perfect score. Lester hiked 21 miles at a stretch, although his test required but 14. He tried and felled 29 times In what is known as the scout's pace test, but he won on the thirtieth attempt He has taken honors as a life saver and swimmer, although he can oaa but wtf hand in such an endeavor. Curators Battle for Heart of Queen Nantes, France.--Disputed possession of a queen's heart has started a teud between the scholarly curators of the museums of the city of Nante and the Loire Inferieur. It is a heart of gold, containing supposedly, the vital organ of Anne of Brittany, queen of France, born in Nantes In 1477. She willed it to the city of her birth in medieval fashion. The quarrel arises over which museum most truly represents Nantjs, the capital city of the department of Loire Inferieur. There are many examples of great and near great French men and women who are separated from their hearts In their last rest. Often, as in Anne's case, the heart was returned to the city of childhood. Sometimes, as In the case of St. Louis, king of France, the heart is burled in holy ground. The heart of Richard the Lion Hearted Is burled at Rouen.

The girls and their parents mourned the dog as dead or hopelessly lost until recently he trotted up to the door whining and barking Joyously. It had taken the dog nine months, and and It was estimated be must have traveled thousands of miles getting home. Tony's feet were sore and his claws worn off. He was gaunt and hungry. Tony has been in the Samples family since he was six weeks old. Now he is six years old, and will remain in the family until he dies a natural death, all members agree. "Does Big Joe live near here!" "Nope." "Well, where can I find his neighbor, Long Sam?" "I'm Long Sam." "But they told me that Big" Joe lived within gun shqt.of> you." £--- "That's right, he^did."^Exchange!

ANlfdUNCEMENT HEW STUDEBAKER MODELS Announcement of the addition of many new features of beauty and refinement to Studebaker's linii of world's champion automobiles f was made here Wednesday by the \Fox River Motor Sales, local Studebaker and Erskine dealers. \ The new cloak of beauty that Stud«P baker designers have given these ?ars, encompass each individual line of Studebaker's quartette of champions-- The President Eight--which is offered at a new low price; the World's Champion Commander; the Dictator; and the Erskine Six. There is a variety of body types and color combinations which will win favorable applause and fit the taste, temperament and treasury of any motorist, masculine of feminine. "Studebaker-built cars having demonstrated their speed and stamina by winning every official speed and endurance record for fully equipped stock cars, Studebaker determined to match the outstanding performance qualities with beauty of design which would be equally pre-eminent," said Mr. Richardson. "I believe every motorist will be please^ by these new automobiles/' The fleet, untiring performance of these new Studebakers, is suggested by low sweeping bodies, accentuated by deeply crowned fenders, swung low over the wheels. Top lipes are low and graceful, terminating in a jaunty "Polo Cap" visor of new design. Radiators of a new design are deep and narrow with a wide shell finished in tarnish-proof chromium plating. The flat type radiator cap carries a winged motif of championship speed, a motif which is repeated in the massive headlamps and sidelights. Headlamps, cowl beading, sidelights and other "bright surfaces" are finished in chromium. ^ ^ Color combinations embody many of the latest shades sponsored by fashion authorities, with distinctive Studebaker touches such as antique treatment of contrasting body panels. Autumn Brown, Deauville Sand, Duskblu, Burgundy, Suede Gray, Damson Plum, and Spirea Green are among the colors used. Body panels are antiqued in Ivory, Leauville Sand, Dauphin Red and other attractive shades. Delicate pin-striping adds to the effect of the body panels. The interiors reflect the artistry of the coach builder and the deft hand of the interior decorator. Harmonizing shades of mohair, broadcloth, whipcord or plush upholstery which will delight the eye of the feminine ob- 'rver, are used in the various models. New Exclusive Shackle Added to hydraulic shock absorbers which are standard equipment on all models, Studebaker has introduced a new and exclusive ball bearing spring shackle on the President, Commander and Dictator chassis. Ball bearing spring shackles increase riding comfort, require no adjustments, eliminate rattles and squeaks and call for inspection only at intervals of 20,000 miles, when lubricant may be added if required. These shackles were approved for the new models only after more than 177,000 miles of tests were made on Studebaker's million dollar Proviiig Ground and over transcontinental highways. Not a single bearing failure occurred and when the tests were completed, the shackles were fune tioning as quietly as the day they were applied. No lubricant was applied at any time, despite the fact that some of the test cars were driven over 35,000 miles. Unusual care has been taken to provide a delicacy of control which will give the daintiest gloved hand complete mastery of the great power and speed available. A new flat-type, thin-grip steering wheel of rubber moulded over a steel base, is adjusta ble to the preference of the driver. Light, ignition and throttle controls are centered at the top of this wheel. Onyx horn button and gear shift knob, on many models, add a note of distinction. Gear shift lever and emergency brake control are of convenient height and located side by side. Equipment is most complete. Twin beam headlights, automatic • wind shield cleaner, rear vision mirror, coincidental lock to steering and ignition, hydraulic shock absorbers, dash gasoline gauge and rear traffic signal light are standard equipment. Two of the greatest advances in automotive engineering-- distinctively Studebaker features--are incorporated in these new models. First, any and all of these new automobiles may be driven at 40-mile per hour speeds, even when new. Only cars built from the highest quality materials up to the finest standards of precision workmanship and subjected to the most rigid inspections, can be driven at such speed when ney without injury to the engine. Second, engine oil need be changed on all Studebaker-built cars but once every 2500 miles. With the introduetion of its new line of cars, it is safe to 'say that Studebaker will continue to occupy a front-rank position in popularity. Skeptical Three-year-old Mary Catherine Uvea In an Indiana mining town. When there is to be work at the mines on the following day, the whistles are blown at 8 p. m. One evening her mother said to her, "Now hurry up and put the toys away, ^hen the 8 o'clock whistles blow it will be time to go to bed." Soon she heard the sound she dreaded to hear and she remarked very casually, "I hear the 8 o'clock whistles, but I don't believe them." Farmer: "Say, what would it cost me t' go in the sleepin' car as fur as Chicago?" Agent: "Upper or lower berth?" Farmer: "Why, is they any difference in the price?" Agent: "Yes, the lower is higher than the upper. You can take your choice but most people take a lower even though it comes higher. You see when you take an upper you have to get up to go to bed and get down when you get up. The upper is lower than the lower because it is higher and***" Farmer: "Never mind, young feller, I'll just go in the sittin' car."-- Exchange.
